samaya jab se hai wo gul-ezar aankhon mein
har ek gul nazar aata hai khar aankhon mein

batao kis ka hua jam-e-arzu labrez
ki nashshe ka hai abhi tak khumar aankhon mein

ye kis ke did ki mushtaq hai dam-e-akhir
ki meri ruh ko hai intizar aankhon mein

jo chahte ho asa tek kar uthe bimar
lagao surma-e-dumbaala-dar aankhon mein

wo rashk-e-gul jo nahin hai hamare pahlu mein
ba-rang-e-khar se fasl-e-bahaar aankhon mein

tumhaari did ke saude mein aa gaya sau bar
tadap tadap ke dil-e-be-qarar aankhon mein

isi sabab se to khulti nahin hai aankh meri
phira hi karti hai taswir-e-yar aankhon mein

main dekhta nahin be-wajah sabza-e-nau-khez
kabhi hai sabza-e-khat ki bahaar aankhon mein

misal-e-mardumak-e-chashm hai ye madd-e-nazar
rahen huzur hi lail-o-nahaar aankhon mein

dua ye rahti hai 'wahbi' ki un ke talwe ka
lagaun surme ki surat ghubar aankhon mein
